it is easier to identify the albums if you can see the full list of people credited to the album. when a release is credited to multiple people it is better to map album_artists to albumartist so then you can browse by the individuals involved in a release.īut to achieve 2. As a way to correctly identify a release, allowing us to differentiate between different releases with the same or similar names. As a way to browse for releases that a particular person or group were involved in.Ģ. The Album Artist can be used in two different ways:ġ. Secondly these people are not all involved in all tracks, certainly when multiple works by different composers exist on a single album The Album Artist stored in MusicBrainz replicates what is written on the spine or front of the disc.This represents the the main people that the release is credited to.įor Pop/Rock this is quite straight forward, usually a single performer or band is credited for the release as a whole and all the tracks, with perhaps an additional performer credited on a couple of tracks.įor Classical music its more complex since first of all more people are involved such as composers, conductors, performers and orchestras. Go back to Part 6: Classical Track Artist Groups Example With out using groups all tracks are listed in track order when you open an album When there are more than two levels the Work/Composition should usually be set to the highest level, i.e the Opera name Operas can consist of multiple tracks per scenes that are part of acts that then make up the Opera. īut some music such as Operas are more complex than a simply consisting of movements and works. In the majority of cases the Work/C ompositi on field has the same value as the Group field but it is used for a different purpose, if added to the indexTags field it can then be indexed and br owsed in the same way as the artist or album. But with regards to Classical music a Group is synonymous with a work, with each track representing a movement and all movements in a a work having the same value for Group. I n its pure st sense Groups are simply a way to groups tracks within a particular album. Minimserver has the concept of Groups and Works (or C ompositions). Go back to Part 3:Sorting Conductor and other fields We have now improved SongKong iTunes integration so that for Wav files it updates the iTunes library itself preserving the metadata added by SongKong into iTunes seamlessly. When editing within iTunes itself it stores only in the iTunes library not the file itself. However iTunes doesn't understand that metadata can be added to WAV files so it ignores the metadata added. #SONGKONG LICENSE UPDATE#SongKong and iTunes have both supported the WAV format for some time and SongKong has always had support for informing iTunes of changes made so that iTunes can update its metadata with the latest details from SongKong. Support for adding WAV metadata to iTunes For the most part SongKong has supported all flavours of Linux, but the audio fingerprinting component was not supported for arm32 chips, but now it is. The Arm32 chipset is often used on embedded and specialist architectures. #SONGKONG LICENSE PLUS#SongKong 4.8 released with many new features for iTunes and MinimServer We have some exciting new features in the latest SongKong release plus a number of fixes, here we list the highlights.
